Creating a Server Status Report

Jun 12, 2013

The
Server
Status Report wizard provides a convenient way to collect and
package a comprehensive
snapshot of a specific XenServer installation for troubleshooting
purposes. Options let you include or exclude a range of different configuration
files and log files for selected servers.

The Server Status
Report gets packaged as a single zip file that can be stored and/or emailed.
The size of the report you generate varies, depending on which items you choose
to include. The zip file includes:

A folder for each
server, containing the report types you select in the wizard

XenCenter log
files
